Metagenomic Insights Into Red Sea Biodiversity Across the Web of Life
Deep‐sequencing shotgun metagenomics of Red Sea benthic sediments reveals biodiversity across the web of life, from viruses to animals. Despite the strong dominance of prokaryotic DNA, low‐abundance eukaryotic reads capture broad taxonomic diversity. Open‐ocean communities are primarily structured by depth, whereas coastal eukaryotic communities follow

The Biodiversity of Retreating Glaciers Leaves an Ecological Legacy in Emerging Soil Communities
We provide the first multi‐taxa assessment of biodiversity transitions across the supraglacial‐proglacial interface, using eDNA metabarcoding across five glacier systems. Recently deglaciated soils resemble supraglacial communities taxonomically and functionally, markedly for microbes and weakly for animals, with microbial similarity declining rapidly ...

Is division of marine animals into macrofauna and meiofauna merely an arbitrary convenience, or, as has been claimed, does their size difference render them distinct and independent entities evolved under different ecological constraints? Those in the Knysna estuarine bay did not behave as distinct and discrete ecological entities, their individual ...

Five animal phyla in glacier ice reveal unprecedented biodiversity in New Zealand's Southern Alps
Glacier ice is an extreme environment in which most animals cannot survive. Here we report the colonization of high elevation, climate-threatened glaciers along New Zealand’s southwestern coast by species of Arthropoda, Nematoda, Platyhelminthes ...

Abstract Freshwater fishes from the northwestern Colombian Andes are reported from the Pliocene Sincelejo and Ware formations. A total of 10 taxa have been identified, involving two orders, five families and nine genera. Characters from dental morphology, fin spines and cranial bones are provided as taxonomic tools for the study of fossil fishes.
